• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Two points in shootout loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers. Both points came in the second period to spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Granlund appears to be headed for a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the team around him, and through the first 17 games of 2024-25, the 32-year-old center has amassed seven goals and 18 points. Granlund has never recorded 200 or more shots in a season, but he's already put 57 pucks on net, putting him on pace to shatter his previous career high of 193 set back in 2017-18.

• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Dishes pair of helpers

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund logged two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild. Granlund set up both of Macklin Celebrini's tallies in the loss. Since Celebrini returned from a lower-body injury, Granlund has moved over to left wing, which could lead to him getting more position eligibility in some formats. The 32-year-old natural center has been excellent in a top-line role this season with six goals, eight assists, 45 shots on net and 16 hits through 14 contests, though he's also been saddled with a minus-7 rating that's unlikely to improve.

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks. Granlund had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests following a seven-game point streak. He scored to tie the game at 2-2 with 1:17 left in the third period, but Pius Suter answered less than a minute later to give the Canucks the win in regulation. Granlund continues to stand out among the Sharks' forwards, earning six goals, eight assists, 44 shots on net, 13 hits, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating over 13 appearances this season.

• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Three-point night in Utah

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Granlund scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah. With the Sharks down 4-1 late in the third period, the veteran center sparked a rally by setting Fabian Zetterlund up for a tally with less than five minutes remaining in regulation before finding the back of the net himself just 25 seconds later. Granlund then helped set up Alexander Wennberg for the OT winner. Granlund extended his point streak to seven games in the process, a stretch in which he's erupted for five goals and 12 points.

• Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Tallies in Saturday's loss

  Granlund scored a goal on five shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Granlund has four goals and five assists during his six-game point streak, but he's been the only bright spot for the Sharks in that span. The 32-year-old is up to 10 points, 34 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating through nine appearances. He'll have plenty of chances to contribute offensively in a large all-situations role. Still, Granlund is a risky option in fantasy formats that count plus-minus ratings because the Sharks tend to get heavily outscored.
